thss Uonciseloa of III rsnarks, ~ went
with President Chester A. Arthur 70 the
White HOUSE, TO review the grand pa.
fade. The faithful watcher went TOO,
Back 70 the Arlington they .shadowed
him, and when he came forth In evening
dress 70 60 to the Inauguration ball,
Slevin, Cosgrove, Neehan and Pumphrey
appeared likewise IN 1ow-cut vests and
swall0w-tailed coats. Never did they
prove obtrusive; not In single instance
was an act done TO excite President
Cleveland's suspicions. A. he went about
the detectives Were ever near enough to
grab any one who made the slightest
threatening move. On the outskffts Of
the throng, in places where they could
see clearly all that was going on, were
the two chiefs, Byrnes and Frey. Any.
thing observed BY them that seemed
worth looking into was communicated
to persons In fashionable attire, who be-
meath their nicely shaped clothes were
heavily armed. At last the President
returned TO his lodgings to seek rest.
The duties Of the watchers were BY NO
means finished. Ballroom style was
changed for the costume Of citizens and
guards were put ON the hotel.
At the President's first reception In
the White House, March 8, the detectives
were present and could not be picked
out from among those who stood around
the chief executive ~ he shook hands
with visitors. It was only when that
reception was over and President Grover
Cleveland, the new occupant of the
White House, had gone to room above,
that the men who had shadowed him two
days and nights without rest and without
attracting attention that they might save
him from any harm felt they had COM
pleted their task and returned to their
respective cities. FELIX BARNLEY.

DRIVING THROUGH A TREE.

DRIVING THROUGH TREE.
Owing to the high altitude at which the
road crosses the mountain, this part of 1t is
usually covered with snow until late In the
spring. Whenever this is the case the stage
is exchanged for asled drawn by four horses.
When the snow Is deep the team is equipped
with snow-shoes. These are simply pieces of
board about one foot square and an inch
thick, having two small holes to admit the
corks of the horses shoe. An adjustable iron
band is then drawn over the hoof in front
and screwed tight. A horse travels on these
shoes without any difficulty and will go along
at trot.
Crossing over the top of the mountain for
q distance of eight miles the road begins
to descend and finally crosses small
bridge. One more turn and 1t strikes the
edge of the Yosemite valley, the wall of
which is here q precipice over 5000 feet
high and almost solid rock from top to
bottom. It must have looked like madness to
those who first contemplated building road
down the.steep side of this vast chasm, but
money and engineering skill have here con-
structed one.of the.most remarkable pieces of
road in the world, Iour miles Of which at
this point cost $1,000. From the brink
Of the precipice to the level of the
valley 1t was blasted through solid rock
nearly the whole way, and, large por-
ton of it had to be supported by a wall built
of rocks. The road takes zig-zag course
down the side of the chasm, changing its
course every few hundred yards with turn
wide enough for four-horse coach TO make
the swing with ease The ride down is q
very interesting one. The stage coach Is
usually one of the old-fashioned sort, with
body resting upon leather springs, upon
which it rocks back and forth like small
boat in sea swell. II there are six horses
attached, two of them are taken out and
fastened behind the coach, the turns being
too short for six-horse team. Everything
being ready for the start, the driver cracks his
long whip and gives the word. Away they
60 at q swinging trot, now skirting along the
outer edge and again hugging the inside as
the leaders make graceful swing around the
curves. It is athrilling sensation to sit upon
the top of the old coach as 1t rocks to and fro,
rumbling along down this steep descent. A
person at all nervous is apt to draw many
short breaths during the ride. Once at the
bed of the valley the six horses are again in
line and the stage Is whirled along at a
rapid gait to its destination.

Your beautiful plenty of hair my pet.
Your eyes had swimming glory, Janette.
Revealing the old, dear story, my pet,
They were gray with that chastened tinge Of

When the trout leaps quickest to snap the fly,
And they matched with your golden hair,

1t In the multitude of cOunselors there
Is wisdom, how wise women ought to be
nowadays, for surely they have the mul.
titude of counselors. Every one you
met on the street during the Lenten
days was either going to give lecture or
to hear one, and theatres and parlors
have been pressed into the service, as
well as every available hall. These lee
lures are of the most widely divergent
character, covering the whole gamut
from "Street- Cleaning" and "Police Re-
form" to "Mind- Cure" and Physical Gull
ture as Aid to Beauty" One of the most
sensible was from Prentice Milford, on
the "Infuence of Habit as an Aid in the
Formation of Character" Others which
have had practical value have been given
by Miss Ida M.Van Ettin at the Madison.
square Theatre. Miss Van Ettin's
course consisted of three upon "Woman
as Worker" "New Industries for Wo-
men" and "Social Functions of Women" !"
and they were given under distinguished
auspices.
Another exceptionally fine series has
been that given by Prof. Lanciani upon
"Ancient Rome," also at the Madison
square Theatre. This series has been re-
peated. The first was given by the pro-
fessor for the benefit of the American
School of Archaeology in Rome, but the
interest proved to be SO great that the
course was repeated on the professors
own account. The audiences have been
of kind rarely seen, except in the boxes
at the Metropolitan Opera House-the
Vanderbilts, Astors, De Puysters and
people of that ilk. The lectures them
selves have been most interesting both to
those who have been to Rome and those
who stay at home.
Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker, who has
made her home in New York this win
ter, has given a series of lectures pictur-
Ing ideal conditions in connection with
: strsmps, our dirty streets, the police force,
Jurisprudence, industrial education, and
the like. Mrs. Hooker wishes to found
national league with honesty as its
basis and principle. But she begins by
taking q dishonest tramp and treating
